A man in Los Angeles is recovering after being attacked by a Minnesota Timber Wolf on Friday night.

Lakers guard Derek Fisher(notes) was doing his job at Staples Center — playing defense, trying to take a charge — when the Wolf lunged at him from around the free throw line.

Fisher said the Wolf bit his soul.

‘He was a young, healthy one,’ Fisher told make-believe reporters. ‘The locals call him Corey Brewer(notes). He was just a hungry, hungry Wolf that was doing what he had to do to dunk the basketball and I just reacted, thank God, the way I did and survived it.’
